| I had taken this tour 9 years ago with my Mom and 3 sisters. We have since visited about 8 other cities and always take a city tour. This is by far the best city tour I've ever been on. When my husband, children, nephew and I were planning our trip to NYC I knew we should take the tour again as it was the first trip to the city for everyone except me. We were not disappointed! Once again it was informative, interesting, funny and a great way to get an overall look at NYC. Our ages ranged from 13-46 and we all enjoyed it. Our tour guide, Steve, has so much knowledge of the city that the kids couldn't believe it. Every question they asked he could answer and if he couldn't, he would find out the answer.
I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn more about NYC. There is no way you could cover all the areas and learn so much about them on your own. |

| I really enjoyed our tour with Steve. He had a lot of good information about the area and buildings. I only wish that we would have had more photo opportunities. It was hard to take photo from the van that was moving.
I have recommended this tour to my neighbor that will be visiting New York the week of Monday March 19. |

| I took my staff (5) to New York as a "thank you" for their hard work. None of them had been before so I wanted to include a sightseeing trip, but we didn't fancy being part of a busload of 50 people. Marvelous Manhattan was ideal. There were 13 on the tour which was a great size. Steve, our guide, was FANTASTIC. Very enthusiastic, very funny and very interesting. When I booked, I thought a full day tour might be a bit long, however he kept it interesting all day and the time flew by. We learnt a lot about this great city and feel that we know it from top to bottom now.
We would highly recommend Marvelous Manhattan tours. They really are great!! |

| I have traveled extensively and this was one of the best tours I've ever been on. I have been to NY before but the person I was with had never been here. This was a very comprehensive tour of Manhattan and left us feeling like we really "knew" the city. The tour guide, Steve, was exceptional. He had a great sense of humor and extensive knowledge of Manhattan. I thought that maybe the tour would be too long but it flew by and left me wanting more! Not only would I recommend this tour to others, I would be happy to take it again when I return to New York with my husband. |

| What makes this tour excellent are two things:
1. Steve - the tour guide really knows and loves the city and provides great history
2. Small group size - the small bus and thus the small group really makes the tour more intimate. Steve calls everybody by name and we all had a great time.
I would definately recommend this tour and would not hesitate to take my children on it next time we are in the city. |

| Swanky is my new favorite "New York" term I learned from Stephen. He was so marvelous, we wanted to keep him for the whole trip!! We invited him to join us for the evening with his wife, but he had to take down the Christmas decorations instead. Oh well, mabey next time!
But yah, really. If you don't book this guy for a tour of NYC, you'll be really missing out on a GREAT opportunity to totally understand and appreciate this wonderful "swanky" little town!!
Hope you do the right thing and book it!!
Hey Stephen, do you still want me to send you those pictures I took on the tour? Just shoot me an e-mail, and you'll get them.
Thanks a million,
Kristin and Greg from the land of 10,000 lakes!!! |

| This was a fantastic start to our stay in New York; we would highly recommend it especially to anyone visiting NY for the first time, as we were. We saw so much in the time and were able to decide which places to revisit in the limited time we had. Steve was an excellent, humorous and very enthusiastic guide - a great ambassador for the city. We loved every minute of the tour - it really lived up to our expectations and was very good value for money. Fond memories from the folk from the "Fatherland" - as Steve kept calling us!! |

| My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We weren't sure if we would be up to 6 hours of riding around in a bus, but the tour was so interesting, so fun and educational, that we were disappointed when the tour did end. (All good things must come to an end!)
Steve took the time to get to know each of us, and by the end of the tour, we felt we were good friends. He is very personable, extremely knowledgeable, and takes great pride in this great city. We are from Texas, and are certainly proud of our great state, but after this tour, we were a little jealous! We wished we had the great history that New York City has!
We received a recommendation from a friend who took this tour, and we are so glad she referred us! Marvelous Manhattan Tours is beyond marvelous - it is superb!!
